Who's ready for AutoX season??

-Don't skip the track walk in the morning. You'll regret it if you DNF your first couple of runs because you got lost amongst the cones. You'll probably get somewhere between 7-10 runs in a day, around a minute'ish each. Make them all count.

-Ride alongs are hugely important if you're new to AutoX or the track layout. A turn might look huge as you're walking the track but things tend to seem a lot smaller/tighter when you're at speed. This ties in to not wasting runs.

-Invest in a decent set of magnetic numbers for your car. There are tons of sites that sell them for between $30-70 depending on how fancy you want them to look. Trying to sit there and create numbers and class letters out of blue tape on the side of your car is a pain in the ***, especially if it happens to be windy that day.

-Check the SCCA website or your local SCCA chapter's website for class rules (you'll want to get that right for when you order your numbers). A bone stock 370Z should be in the B Stock class according to the 2015 rulebook. You might be in the B stock prepared class judging by the mods in your sig, but check the book to be sure.

-Don't worry about other people's times. Focus on consistently improving your own times and not wasting runs with DNFs.

-Have fun.
